Teddy Bridgewater notices similarities between Charlie Strong's Texas, Louisville

Former Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater said he's notices similarities between Texas head coach Charlie Strong's Longhorns and the program he built at Louisville, in a recent USA Today article.

Bridgewater told USA Today's Laken Litman that the Longhorns remind him of Strong's early struggles at Louisville.

"You know it takes time," Bridgewater said. "He's laid a foundation and now he's gotta build on that ... It took him two years (at Louisville). Our first two years I think we finished 7-6 and then over the next two years we only lost three football games."

Louisville had back-to-back 7-6 seasons in 2010 and 2011 during Strong's tenure with the Cardinals.
